About this event
Join our panel of experts for this live event as we debate the perceptions of our sector, and argue that we must do a better job of fighting for it.
Our panel will discuss rapidly changing government policies, funding and value for money, and internationalisation. The prevailing narratives which have damaged the sector to a point where universities are making difficult decisions and, in some cases, fighting to survive.
A new government marks an opportunity to change the narrative and push the sector further up the agenda. As a collective we have not always been good at demonstrating what we offer. This session will look at how we work together to do better and build back understanding of why universities exist, and must continue to exist.
The panel of experts includes:
- Phil Baty (Chair), Chief Global Affairs Officer for Times Higher Education
- Vivienne Stern MBE, Chief Executive of Universities UK
- Professor Nick Jennings, Vice Chancellor and President of Loughborough University
- Professor Lisa Roberts, Vice Chancellor and Chief Executive of University of Exeter
- Professor Nishan Canagarajah, President and Vice Chancellor of University of Leicester
The event will conclude with a Q&A session.
